Memory as Medicine Film: Big Fish

As Edward Bloom dies of cancer, his son tries to understand who his father was. Flashbacks chronicle Bloom’s encounters with giants, witches, and conjoined twins. U.S. 2003. English, 125 min., color. PG 13.

Forgotten, lost, exaggerated, and relived—memories have long been captured on film. In the spirit of Radcliffe Bailey’s investigation of the past, the Memory as Medicine Film Series knock on the door of days gone by.
